How to Get Started


HOW TO GET STARTED: WHAT YOU CAN HAVE!

From the first two books (Prescription for Natural Healing 5th Ed & Healing the New Childhood Epidemics), I developed the customized diet for Hannah. It is strict but there are plenty of foods out there. I shop at Whole foods and Sprouts. Underneath the list, I am posting the brands that we use that our kids really like. We have seen Hannah off and on the diet. Its a night and day difference. A book that is very helpful in succeeding is the GF/CF Shopping Guide (http://www.ceceliasmarketplace.com/gluten-free-casein-free-guide/)

Here it is below: What you CAN Have!

Gluten/Dairy/Nut/Egg Free diet (Rule of thumb, if its as close to natural as possible, than you have a better chance of it falling into this diet)
What we can eat:
-100% Organic Chicken or Turkey (No Steroids,Antibiotics, or Hormone injections) Label should say 100% organic, hormonefree, steroid free
-Fresh Seafood (Salmon,Tilapia, Bass, Halibut, Sole, Trout, a white fish)
-Non processed, Gluten free lunch meat: BOARS HEAD is the only one I have found like this
-Fresh or Frozen vegetables (no corn)

-Rice Milk, Almond milk, soymilk
-eggs as an ingredient only
-Sugar in the Raw or OrganicSugar (Non-Refined) (NO artifical or processed sugars (white, aspartame, splenda, etc)
(At the top of my fridge, I have a Canister for GF All purpose flour, GF Oatmeal, GF Pancake Mix, and Organic Sugar- so I can have it handy for baking or cooking.) I simply replaced the old stuff.
I also donated all of my gluten items in my pantry so I wouldnt feel tempted to cheat out of convenience. After all I was doing this for my families overall health.
